LPC, 16 years of experience
Hello! I’m a licensed mental health counselor, licensed in both WA and GA. I received my MA in psychology counseling in 2004 and have worked as a school based counselor before entering into my private practice in 2010. I enjoy partnering with clients to uncover the roots of maladaptive thinking. Once there is awareness and understanding healing can blossom. I love Jesus and acknowledge He is the source of our healing. I have a solid church family, a wonderful husband, beautiful daughter and two sons. I live on a peaceful farm with wide open spaces and a big garden. I enjoy playing in the dirt and reading good books…it’s a truly beautiful life.
I will provide tools each session for how best to meet clients needs. Every persons story is different and important to understand. I seek to gain an understanding of each client’s strengths and work from a perspective of equipping each person with increased clarity and tools on how to move forward.
My greatest strength is my ability to engage with clients. I love people and I love Jesus. I hope every client feels seen and understood and leaves our session feeling a combination of relief and clarity.
I am best positioned to serve adult clients dealing with symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief issues and destructive habits.

I initially chose to work with Deborah because in her profile she said she loves Jesus. I love that Deborah shared about herself and her life in her profile. It's just as important for me to get to know my therapist as it is for them to get to know me. Upon on initial meeting Deborah was very warm she made it easy for me to talk to and I felt heard. She didn't have a bullet point of things for us to do and accomplish but truly checked in with me today, I really appreciated that.

Very much enjoyed the session, we have been meeting mostly with men and I am so grateful that you are able to meet with us, I think it's really helpful that Dacia is hearing things now from another woman's perspective. Looking forward to our next meeting!

Great listener and very genuine. Great Therapist.
I help clients gain clarity and understanding about their current beliefs to enable constructive change.
Our bodies tell the truth. We often look for a thinking solution to a feeling problem. I help clients find a feeling solution to the feeling problems. Our pain requires to be seen and felt. I help walk clients the this process.
